I haven’t gotten in the habit of keeping track of when special days or months are related to social justice topics so it took me by surprise when I discovered that July is Disability Pride month!
Given that, I quickly changed my publishing schedule around to prioritize a big disability-related project I had been working on but… it’s not done yet. So in the mean time, in lieu of a new blog post this week, I thought I’d offer you a compilation of my favorite articles about disability, chronic illness, and mental health that I’ve written over the years.
You can also check out the disability, chronic illness, and mental illness tags linked below this post for more related content!
